Patient Education

With Washington and the Puget Sound area considered the “brainiest” part of the country with the highest per capita education in the U.S., we appreciate how much knowledge and understanding is critical to our patients.  For that reason, we continue to provide additional information along with links to web sites that our physicians have vetted and approved.  When something is wrong with you or someone in your family, whether it is pain, injuries, degeneration or loss of function, you want expert advice and a bona fide source of information.  We offer that through our physician specialists and our therapy department – who often teach people how to do things differently to protect joints or improve functionality for performing everyday tasks whether for work, hobbies, recreation or everyday life.   We trust we can answer almost all of your questions regarding your hand and orthopedic health.
